21. Israel prevented a major Hezbollah attack
Sun Aug 25, 2024, 02:19 PM
Aug 2024

An estimated 6000 rockets were readied, aimed all over Israel, including dense population centers like Tel Aviv. They still managed to fire 320 missles into Israel, but the IAF was able to destroy hundreds of launchers.

Since 10/7, Hezbollah has launched more than 8,000 rockets into Israel, killing 43 Israelis and injuring 272, including children. If that isn't escalation, I don't know what is. You can't expect Israel to just sit there and take it.

Iran is behind all of this, don't forget.
